SOTD "British Soaps/Creams" Theme Week 30 June-6 July 2014

Gentlemen,

The Godrej Lime Fresh is an excellent cream. It is easy to lather and I like the lime scent. The Slim and Viking’s Sword did their job again. Great smooth, close, and nick free shave.
I finished up with my sample of Captain’s Choice Lime! This is my 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] sample bottle, I really need to order a full bottle.
